Toyota has filed a patent in the United States for a manual transmission for electric vehicles that will mimic the operation of a traditional manual in a combustion-engined car. This technology is possibly being developed for Toyota’s future generations of electric sports cars and sedans, the aim being to offer the sensations of using a manual gearbox in a drivetrain with no gears via a switchable manual mode.
